Tea drinking fool, storyteller, humanist. Easily distracted by cats and reverb. Quiet voice, loud hands. Likes writers, books and awful puns.

Can we please end this culture where all companies you interact with are like needy teenagers in the throes of their first crush...do you like me? Do you really like me? Why don't you love me? Even my email account has started asking for feedback. It's exhausting.

Looked at myself in the mirror before leaving for work. Realised I'm channeling 'substitute art teacher, circa 1987' - coloured jeans, DMs with ribbon laces, v neck sweater with roll neck under, multicoloured bead necklace. That's my vibe, apparently.

Tragedy has befallen me...I have had to throw away teabags because they WENT MOULDY. The box was damp when it was delivered, so I was suspicious of them at first. But they lured me into a false sense of security by tasting ok for the first week. Then I had two manky cups of tea, & found mouldy bags

What if there was a Halloween version of the elf on the shelf...I can't think of a rhyming name but a troll or a demon that peeks out from unexpected places and threatens you with hauntings and poltergeists and possible eternal damnation. I'd find that much more fun.

My Facebook memory from 3 years ago (TBH still not sure): 'Very chaotic call with O2. May have upgraded my phone & cancelled the contract for the tablet I never use. May have just agreed on a contract to end the universe, in which case upgrading that phone was a waste of time'

Today I've booked tickets to 3 exhibitions for the end of next month, and my inner nerd (fairly outer tbh) is in heaven...Secret Maps, Mudlarking and PIRATES. Plus a Writing From Rage workshop and an Open Mic (for details see@saloneurope.bsky.social ). I'll be intolerably excited by mid-November.
